Man, I wish it didn't have to wait until March for Ultimate Deadpool. ...and it's a good thing they say "Deadpool and his Marauders", because I was worried they did some gender bending for a moment. So I'm guessing that's Kitty in a crime-fighting-with-Spidey disguise.

Heh. I knew it. The minute I read that Silver Surfer was in Marvel Zombies, I knew Galactus would show up eventually. But the story should be interesting. And I love #4's cover. They totally went zombie with the X-Men #1 homage. So much it's funny.

Hmm... the New Universe stuff is kind of surprising. But I'm not interested in it since the only New Universe stuff I've read is two issues of Exiles.

And the return of Apocalypse stories roxxor my boxxors. Especially now that I know it starts in Cable & Deadpool, and Sunfire (ZOMG! AoA costume!) becomes a Horseman.

X-Factor #5's description worried me for a moment. I almost thought Siryn was powerless too, but she was in post-House of M Cable & Deadpool and still had her powers. So I guess something causes her to temporarily lose them in the course of the story.
